In another sauté pan bring small amount of olive oil to high heat just before smoking. Place two U-10 scallops into pan away from yourself to prevent splattering. Sear approximately 2 ½ minutes per side, or until desired doneness.

Heat 2 Tbsp. of vinaigrette over medium heat just until simmering, add bacon bits and remove from heat.

Add spinach to warm vinaigrette and gently toss until spinach just begins to wilt.

Place spinach salad on plate and garnish with fresh orange wedges and minced red pepper, Place the two seared scallops atop and enjoy.

*Note: Depending on the amount of grease produced by the bacon you use you may need to adjust the amount of olive oil used up or down.
